About James Grout

James Grout has been capturing special moments through photography over the past fifteen years. His unobtrusive, photojournalistic style has earned him respect from clients and allowed him to excel at what he does best - photography.

An alumni of State University of New York at Purchase, James studied Photography and the Arts giving him a firm foundation in his craft and a unique approach.
